Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Morning Edition, and All Things Considered. These are just a few of the programs that have entertained and informed because of the Public Broadcasting Act that was signed into law in 1967. Today, we mark the 50th anniversary of the landmark legisation by reflecting, and looking ahead, with Congresswoman Debbie Dingell.
